"Hastert called for Clinton impeachment on sexual misconduct" .@DavidCornDC @GrumpyCatPol 1. Gingrich, Livingston, Hastert, Hyde. Were there ever four people with greater incentives in 1998 to nobly @DavidCornDC @GrumpyCatPol 2. state that they were not going to seek partisan ends via the politics of personal destruction? J. Bradford DeLong ?@delong May 29 --- Henry Hyde, who served as chief prosecutor at the President's trial, stated in his closing argument: "A failure to convict will make the statement that lying under oath, while unpleasant and to be avoided, is not all that serious...We have reduced lying under oath to a breach of etiquette, but only if you are the President...And now let us all take our place in history on the side of honor, and, oh, yes, let right be done." Despite Hyde's efforts, President Clinton was acquitted of both perjury and obstruction of justice. With a two-thirds majority required for conviction, only 45 senators voted for conviction on the perjury charge and only 50 on the obstruction of justice charge. [10] Extramarital affair[ edit] In 1998, the Internet magazine Salon.com published "This Hypocrite Broke Up My Family" which stated that from 1965 to 1969, Hyde conducted an extramarital sexual affair with Cherie Snodgrass. At the time, Snodgrass was married to another man with whom she had three children. The Snodgrasses divorced in 1967. Hyde said the affair ended when Snodgrass' husband confronted Mrs. Hyde. The Hydes reconciled and remained married until Mrs. Hyde's death in 1992. Hyde was married and 41 years old when the affair occurred. He admitted to the affair in 1998 and attributed the relationship to "youthful indiscretions". [11] The revelation of his affair was exposed while Hyde was spearheading the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton over charges of perjury in the Monica Lewinsky affair. en.wikipedia.org

>> Hastert called for Clinton impeachment on sexual misconduct.....how hypocritical of him in light of his antics with young boys. If he did what he is accused of doing then yes, it was hypocrisy. Meanwhile, we have a president who believes the way you close a prison is by just letting all the prisoners go.

Hastert called for Clinton impeachment on sexual misconduct.....how hypocritical of him in light of his antics with young boys. newsbusters.org When a Dem does something that might be considered sexually inappropriate, its a huge deal........when an R does it, not so much. Look at the Duggar molestation........I have never seen so many wingers walking that one back.
